Kevin Fleming Ph.D.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

Fall Willeboordse, LCSW-R

Depression is often the illness hiding in plain sight. It’s difficult to get help as depression has the ability to drain you of your will and sense of agency. I work with people suffering with moderate to severe depression. My approach is to find out what is happening now in your life that is causing you distress, your response to it, and also recognize any repetitions of events, relationships or behaviors which may be pulling you down. I work both short and long term. Symptom relief is the immediate goal, whereas a longer-term goal may be to identify any underlying issues triggering the depression.

Carolyn AlRoy, Psy.D.

Licensed Psychologist

I will determine the severity of depression and the need for medication. We will figure out if depression is an acute response to a crisis or situation. We will look at the causes, your experience of depression, what are triggers for depression, and ways to cope with it and give you better control of it. If it is a recurrent depression we will find ways for you to cope, and develop good support networks if you don't have them.

Tania Suarez, MSEd, LMHC, NCC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Depression can make it hard to engage with your loved ones, focus on your work, get out of bed, and even enjoy the things you used to. And it's even more frustrating when it's out of your control and perhaps for reasons you're unaware of. In a safe and compassionate space, I can help you understand and identify your triggers for depression and help you develop healthy coping strategies to manage your symptoms.

Stephanie Manes, JD, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Many of us have found ourselves in the grips of depression. It may be chronic or follow from life changes or losses. In most cases, it leaves the person suffering with a sense of despair and disorientation. If you are struggling with some form of depression, I can offer you a safe and supportive environment where you weather your own storm and find a way back into life. Through a healing dialogue where you can express sadness and fear without judgement, and explore the sources and what sustains your depression, we can help you through the worst of the pain and move you back toward life.

Diane Davis, L.C.S.W.

Licensed Psychotherapist

I have extensive experience working with depression, from mild forms to severe, cripplling depression. Sometimes depression can seem like the world around you has changed, leaving you isolated and feeling all alone. At times some may feel unable to go on with their daily life. I help you identify the root causes of depression and can provide strategies to move through and onwards with life.

Jean Fitzpatrick, L.P.

Psychotherapist and Couples Counselor

Sometimes life hurts. Do tears come surprisingly easily these days? Have activities and relationships you've always enjoyed stopped being fun? Do loved ones tell you you're cranky? Have your eating or sleeping patterns changed? If so, you may be depressed. Often the first thing people think of is antidepressant medication. Yet medication is no substitute for talking about your feelings with an experienced, compassionate therapist who will help you find more effective, fulfilling ways of thinking and creating supportive structure in your life. You can feel better! To ask questions you may have about depression or to make an appointment, contact Jean Fitzpatrick.

Annie Block Pearl, M.S.

Psychotherapist

Depression and anxiety are the two most diagnosed psychological conditions in our Western world. The depressed clients who I have successfully treated came to me with a deep frustration in their souls.My approach is a multi-pronged approach. I work holistically to bring awareness to physical, biological and nutritional issues that might be contributing to the problem. Concurrently, In our psychotherapeutic work we develop tools to explore and express the unique and authentic life that each client so richly deserves. The soul's wishes can be expressed when self-limiting patterns are released and a more joyful life follows.

Joan Warren, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Depression is a life challenge that is shared by many of us and treated in a variety of ways. Letting go of self blame and regret may be your need. Examining past history and increasing or altering perspective about how this affects your self worth may bring relief. Addressing present thought patterns and how they relate to mood and behavior is practical and beneficial. But, receiving consistent support by a trained, compassionate and dedicated professional who will remain by your side through attempts to change may be the most important and positive step toward relieving depression and that is what I bring to our sessions.

Rev. Christopher Smith, LCAC, LMHC, LMFT

Helping you find wholeness...

There is hope if you are unable to enjoy the things that used to give you pleasure or if you have a sense of sadnesss or hopelessness that just won't go away. We all feel sad from time to time, but depression is when this goes on over time and can affect all areas of your life and even lead to you feeling like giving up on life. Together, we can look at what is going on and explore ways (through discussion, actions and possibly involving a physician) to help you back to where you would want to be - where you can experience a sense of wholeness and peace. Christopher can help you on that journey.

New York Behavioral Health, Ph.D.

New York Behavioral Health

Depression is painful, it can disrupt many areas of your life-- from personal relationships, work, organization and cleanliness, your sleep, appetite, and sex life. It can even make someone not want to go on.
It is one of the most common problems I treat.
Despite how common and painful it can be, there is good news. There are a number of highly effective treatments for depression supported by science.
I utilize Cognitive Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Behavioral Activation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and when appropriate some skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate physical exercise and meditation when appropriate.

Lois Horowitz, Ph.D, LCSW

Psychotherapist

London Terrace Gardens/ Chelsea/ West 23rd Street, New York, New York 10011

There is hope if you are experiencing intense feelings of hopelessness and despair. However, first you need to learn about the new advances in neuroscience that emphasize the role of the brain in how you feel. Let me help you to develop insight into what triggers unhealthy, self-critical thoughts and self-defeating patterns of behavior. Please visit my website at lhorowitz.com for more information about my practice.

Maureen Berube, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

The normal ups and downs of life mean that everyone feels sad or has "the blues" from time to time. Depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any, relief. I have found in treating clients with depression that a multi-pronged approach is most effective and includes a combination of social support, lifestyle changes and emotional skills building learned within the therapeutic relationship.

Bennett Pologe, Ph.D.

Psychologist

This is a broad broad category. There are as many things that people call depression, and as many kinds of depressed people, as there are shades of color. The first step is to rule out physical problems – there are several that masquerade as depression – and then to rule out the simple solutions. Any good self-help book or website can give you advice on coping with the inertia that is so problematic in depression. If those are not helping enough, it is time for a careful assessment of your particular brand of what you might be calling depression. It can involve any mixture of anger, resentment, internal pressure, fear, and more. How we handle all that depends on what we find

Maggie Vaughan, LMFT, PhD

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; Psychotherapist

Dr. Vaughan has successfully worked with patients suffering from depression for fifteen years. Depression can lead to low self-esteem, low energy, reduced concentration and motivation, suicidal thoughts, irrational guilt, and unwanted changes in sleep and appetite. Therapy can reverse these symptoms by addressing behaviors and thoughts that reinforce them. Dr. Vaughan also engages in active problem-solving with patients to help them change life circumstances and aspects of relationships that might perpetuate depression.

Jacqueline Swensen, PhD, LCSW

Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Chronic depression can leave one feeling completely hopeless about life. It also depletes the little bit of energy you have, making getting out of bed in the morning a chore. You might find yourself sleeping too much, yet feeling exhausted all the time. When I work with people who exhibit these symptoms, the initial psychotherapy steps include helping the person set goals and begin working toward them while the therapy unfolds and sources of the depression get examined in new ways.

Heidi Seifert, LCSW-R, MA

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

You can find a way to eliminate depression, get depression help with depression counseling, and jump start your life. Depression is not just emotional it is physical as well. The exhaustion and fatigue can be the hardest part. We will work on becoming more connected to your life and your loved ones. When this happens you will get a renewed sense of energy and begin to feel good once more.

Gerald Schoenewolf, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychoanalyst

Almost everybody has depression of some type or another. Sometimes depression is linked to a childhood trauma and sometimes it comes from a recent traumatic event. No matter where it comes from, it can affect your mood, your thinking and your behavior. Because I have learned to deal with my own depression, I can help you deal with yours. I use a variety of modalities to work with you and get you out of your depression so that you can function better in your personal life and your career.

Michael Picucci, PhD, MAC, SEP

Holistic Psychologist, Author, Focalizer

Most depressed clients feel trapped by the circumstances that life has presented them.
By introducing some elegantly simple tools, you will discover that there are openings (physically and energetically) that can dissolve frustrating anxiety/depression. Importantly, you become aware of perceptions and experiences not previously available to you. The tools/exercises that we use in session experientially shift us out of our everyday minds - This allows us access to another intelligence within a naturopathic pathway supported by our bodies, our hearts and nature.

Maria Sue Butler, LMFT, Supervisor State Of Florida

Howard Rossen, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Sometimes we simply feel stuck in neutral. We can't move into drive and if we don't hold on tightly we so easily can fall back into reverse. Depression takes many forms and sometimes we don't even know that we are engulfed by it. But if you feel that you are so very alone and that no one can understand what you are going through perhaps talking to a Psychotherapist might be a good place to start. Try taking that first step because everyone needs someone to talk to.

Joseph Markowicz, LCSW-R, MFT

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have found that people who experience some form of depression respond quite positively to a solution focused or cognitive behavioral approach. Instead of a consistent focus on what makes you depressed, we explore those times where you feel better and more alive. We put the spotlight on that in order to learn how do experience that state more often. I also coordinate with a psychopharmacologist if medication is indicated as well.

Nikki DiFranks, PhD, MA, MS, LCSW-R

Dr. Nikki Nelson DiFranks

In my biography on Theravive, I describe how I utilize an integrated combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic modalities. That is, I tailor each treatment plan to the needs of the individual. Some patients wish to make connections between past experiences and current depression, and in this case it is appropriate to revisit the past to recognize its psychodynamic influence on current maladaptive behaviors. Other patients take a purely cognitive behavioral position on their experienced depression, wanting to be grounded in the present and move forward with problem-solving techniques and strategies. I also work with two psychiatrists who may prescribe medication where needed.

Kristin Schaefer Schiumo, Ph.D.

Licensed Psychologist

In sessions, we will explore the ways in which your symptoms are affected by your relationships, including family and friends. You are given the opportunity to focus on the meaningful relationships in your life and how they may be contributing to your symptoms of depression. As these relationships are developed or improved, inter-personal connection is strengthened. This sense of support or emotional connection proves critical in alleviating depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to target negative thoughts, emotions, and actions that contribute to your depression. You will learn modulated, positive, and effective emotional responses to whatever life brings your way.

Hal Brickman, LCSW, RCSW, CSW, MSW, CHT

Darcy Lawton, LCSW, PLLC

When it comes to depression, my goal as a therapist is to help you identify the root causes of such feelings, and to identify healthy coping tools and strategies for implementing self-care.

Ari Fox, LCSW-R

Do you feel stuck, unfulfilled or even wonder at times if life is not worth living? Depression is painful and debilitating, but you do not have to face it alone. Speaking with a caring therapist can help you feel better by speaking about your feelings and exploring new ways of understanding yourself and your problems.

Karen Arluck, LCSW, RYT

Psychotherapist

I work with many clients facing varying degrees of depression and who are having difficulty coming out of it on their own. I seek to help them better understand what they are feeling and the varying causes and triggers leading to it. I also, work with clients to help them mobilize themselves out of it, working towards their individual goals and developing ways that they can improve their moods.

John Bean, LCSW-R

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Whether your feelings of sadness are because of a recent event, or you have experienced them for a longer period of time, therapy can provide you with a safe place to gain strategies and understanding as to how best to address them. I am very comfortable working with individuals who may wish to consider adjuctive forms of support (medication, meditation, yoga etc.) as a means of potentially enhancing their progress in our work. Together we can engage in the work of helping you find greater meaning, satisfaction and connection to your daily life.

Walter Masterson, LCSW

Psychotherapy and Counseling

Often depression is held in place by thoughts and beliefs that suck the hope out of one's life. Therapy is effective in finding the source of the problem and providing tools for intercepting and changing the problematic thought patterns. Medication may or may not be needed to get the process started. When one gains the ability to envision a rewarding life, it often ends the cycle of depression.

Lauren Levy, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

The number one priority I have when working with clients who are depressed is to help them see that they can learn how to cope with and manage paralyzing thoughts and feelings that hold them back in life. My clients and I work together to develop and implement several strategies to replace the negative, irrational and unrealistic thoughts they have with positive, rational and realistic ones. I also work with clients on exploring and understanding the underlying issues that may be contributing to their current feelings and problems. Through this process, clients stop repeating self defeating and self sabotaging behaviors to pursue and achieve their life goals.

N. Lael Telfeyan, Ph.D., LCSW, ACSW

Psychotherapist

Depression is certainly on the rise as people cope with the many stressors they face in everyday life. To begin with, taking the step to meet with a therapist can be the beginning of your improvement, once you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Often times clients are opposed to taking medications but sometimes are willing to and I will make an appropriate referral for you.
Once you begin to identify the symptoms and sources of your depression we will work together to help you address these issues in a positive and focused way that will ease your symptoms soon.

Susie Greenebaum, LCSW, MS Ed

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

People suffer depression for many reasons. But no matter what, depression can feel paralyzing. You may feel overwhelmed with sadness or numbness. Everything can feel pointless, tiring and just plain bad. Depression can relate to an event in your life or it can feel unexplainable. The trickiest part is that we often blame ourselves for how bad we fell and this just makes it worse. Therapy for depression helps you develop compassion for yourself and out of this compassion, it becomes easier to work toward feeling better. Together we will find which techniques work best to give your relief. I use techniques that help you change your habits and thoughts.
